HRANA News Agency – Sarang Etehadi was released from prison in Tehran today, at the end of a one-year sentence on charges of “propaganda against the state through participation in Bahai worship and prayer groups.”

According to the report of Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), his wife, Nasim Ashrafi, was freed from Evin prison on April 8, having also served a one-year sentence.

The couple, both from Tehran, were arrested in a wave of detentions of Bahais in Tehran, Mashhad and Shiraz in early July, 2012.

Mr. Etehadi was originally sentenced to five years, and Mrs Ashrafi to three years in prison, but the review court reduced both sentences to one year.
